Does anyone else have any other ideas on how SMTP traffic could be intercepted as described earlier?It really wouldn't be difficult at all. I don't think SIMS will do it directly, but you can tell SIMS to route all mail through a foreign SMTP server. Run Sendmail or qmail on a Linux box, route the SIMS SMTP traffic through it, and you could do anything you want.
I agree with the other posters, though, that the technical feasibility of it is irrelevant. If this guy's paranoid, no amount of rational argument is going to change his beliefs. If he's just lying, he's just going to keep on lying.
I get a GPG signature on my log files once a week, then have the signature timestamped by an independent third party:

I then burn the logs, signature, and timestamp to a CD. It gives you a way to prove that the logs haven't been altered. It might be too late for you now, but then again it couldn't hurt.
